«Antichrist Superstar» — промо-сингл з другого студійного альбому гурту Marilyn Manson Antichrist Superstar. Виробили менше 70 копій окремка. Пісня символізує кульмінаційний момент історії концептуального альбому, коли головний герой стає бунтарем-нігілістом Антихристом Суперзіркою, ненавидячи світ та знищуючи все на своєму шляху. Цей образ передається тріумфальною та лиховісною загальною атмосферою пісні; гітарні рифи нагадують звучання сурм та труб під час тоталітарного з'їзду. Це може бути натяком на те, як критики вважали Меріліна Менсона загрозою для християнської моралі, а, отже, й загрозою для самого світу.

Під час концерту фронтмен співає на сцені, яку прикрашено прапорами з символом шоку/блискавки, що був характерним для його другої платівки «Antichrist Superstar», стоячи на трибуні, наче під час нацистського з'їзду. Своїми рухами тіла й позами лідер гурту пародіює і насміхається з диктаторів та телеєвангелістів.

Відеокліп

Режисер: Е. Еліас Мерідж. Співрежисер: Мерілін Менсон. Відео зняли в 1996 р., але його довго не випускали для широкого загалу. Кліп уперше показали у 1997 р. на Міжнародному кінофестивалі у Сан-Франциско у складі програми «Newly Minted Memories». Відео отримало нагороду у категорії «Відеокліп». Назва кліпу пишеться через дефіс, на відміну від назви пісні.

У 1996 р. Менсон зв'язався з Меріджем через день після того, як він переглянув його експериментальний фільм 1990 року Народжений. Едмунд тоді висловив зацікавленість у зйомках відео «Antichrist Superstar», він хотів використати більшу частину кадрів, які не увійшли до кліпу на пісню «Cryptorchid». Режисер відзняв додатковий матеріал з участю Менсона, а потім змонтував його з уже наявними сценами.

Мерідж використав кадри з військових хронік різних країн, щоб підкреслити тоталітарний аспект пісні. Зрештою, лейбл Interscope, який був шокований відеокліпом, заборонив його випуск."

19 червня 2010 р. відео з'явилося на YouTube. Його тривалість: 5:43, хоча титри на початку кліпу повідомляють, що тривалість відео становить 5:23. Кліп знято на чорно-білу плівку. Відео містить кадри із стрічки «Народжений». У кліпі Менсон грає роль вождя у діловому костюмі, який вириває сторінки з Біблії, стоячи на трибуні, схожій на ту, яку Менсон використовує під час концертних виступів. Генрі С. Розенталь із сан-франциської кінокомпанії «Complex Corporation» також узяв участь у виробництві відео. У середині 2011 кліп нарешті з'явився на офіційному сайті гурту.

What do I need to know?
Regardless of where you are in the world, understanding copyright law can be exhausting. For example, the first chapter of the U.S. Copyright Law—which simply defines basic legal language—totals more than 45,000 words. That's one chapter!
And if copyright lawyers are the only ones who truly understand the minutiae within, it's easy to understand why disputes occur. The law is extensive. It's confusing. And for churches, schools or organisations, a seemingly honest error or omission can be both embarrassing and time-consuming. At the same time, the law seeks fairness and protection for all parties.
How does my church or organisation protect itself?
First off, by honouring the copyright laws that apply in your country. CCLI can help. With the proper Copyright Licence, churches and organisations are legally covered to download songs or lyrics, and copy, reproduce, and distribute the words and images contained within. All the while saving administrative time, expense and effort.
We should underscore that CCLI doesn't write or enforce copyright law. Yet as our customers further embrace technology to share the power of music, film, words and images, CCLI ensures they are covered under the law.

Speech by High Representative/Vice-President Josep Borrell at the EP debate
Disinformation: Speech by High Representative/Vice-President Josep Borrell at the EP debate
Good morning, dear Mr Chairman, dear Members of the Committee, dear Members of the European Parliament attending this debate,
We are witnessing how Russia's assault on Ukraine continues, and this assault painfully highlights why we need to pay more attention to foreign interference, and in particular to foreign disinformation and information manipulation. This poses a clear threat to our democracy, to our stability, to our security – and we need to address it. So, I therefore very much welcome your report and the work of the Special Committee on Foreign Interference.
Information manipulation and interferences is something that the Russian propaganda machine is actively using to accompany Russia's military campaign in Ukraine, spreading false information among their own population about why this invasion has taken place and what is the situation in Ukraine.
Over the last weeks, much before the invasion started, the Kremlin's outlets were preparing the ground, by reversing the cause and consequences of this aggression and portraying Russia and the Russian people as a kind of victim: "Genocide"; "[The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr] Zelensky is committing genocide. Zelensky is a criminal, is a puppet in the hands of the Western people, and when they come to Kyiv, they will do a second Nuremberg, in order to clean Ukraine of the Nazis who are committing genocide against Russian people". This is the kind of things that they are systematically spreading. Undermining the legitimacy of the democratically elected Ukrainian Government, presenting them as the result of a "coup d'Etat", who came to power not through elections but through a "coup d'Etat": "he is a criminal, a war criminal, he is a Nazi, he is a dictator". And also distorting historical facts. Well, history can be interpreted in very different ways, but to consider that Zelensky is a war criminal and Nazi who is committing genocide against the Russian people is not a matter of historial interpretation.
The Kremlin and its outlets are systematically lying about the situation, about the military situation and about the suffering of the Ukrainian population. They claim systematically that the Ukrainian authorities are bombing their own citizens or provoking nuclear incidents in order to blame Russia. Systematically, these kind of news are being spread. Also, the alleged "Russo-phobia" that the state-affiliated media report on is another thing that people in Russia listen to. Let me say once again, our measures are against the Russian leadership, not against the Russian people, and the current situation is a result of President [Vladimir] Putin's actions. And if he wants, he can solve it by just stopping the war.
The state media and "the ecosystem" around them are being used as instruments to push these narratives, to manipulate and to mislead. And they are an integral part of the aggression – it is not just bombing houses, infrastructure, the bodies of the people; they are bombing their minds, they are bombing their spirits.
The Russian leadership is cracking down on independent media, on civil society, has banned Twitter, has banned Facebook and a number of foreign media to be able to operate in Russia. The Kremlin has introduced a law criminalizing what they call "fake" information about the war in Ukraine. It can cost you 15 years in jail, targeting also international journalists who are doing their vital work in Russia. As a consequence, they deprive the Russian citizens of any access to independent media, to independent information about what is happening in Ukraine and how the Russian armed forces are behaving.
So Russia is moving towards a complete isolation of its citizens from information coming from the outside world. They are putting them in a bubble, isolating them in order to not allow them to know what is happening.
The international community has come together in response to President [of Russia, Vladimir] Putin's senseless war in a coordinated and decisive manner. And, I am proud to see that the European Union has been able to show its capacity to deliver in this field also.
We have been able to do this because we are not working from scratch. It comes from 2015. When leaders of the European Union recognised the threat of foreign information and misinformation coming from Russia – in 2015, it is seven years ago. Then they tasked the High Representative to address this challenge. We created, in the European External Action Service, teams of people, with the capacities and expertise that has been developed in the last seven years, allowing us to take today decisive steps to tackle this issue.
We have built a strong Stratcom Team, which is doing, I think, an excellent work. You will judge it. It has been praised in your reports. Thank you for that. We have been strengthening our proactive public communication to provide factual information, not least through our EUvsDisinfo(link is external)(link is external) website, which exposes the Kremlin narratives. Go to this website, use our EUvsDisinfo website and you will find there registered hundreds of disinformation cases in European countries: Germany and the United Kingdom, in France, in Italy and Spain. Targeting a variety of issues like elections, vaccines, about Brexit, or about the secessionist movements in some European [Union] Member States.
We have increased our cooperation with partners like NATO and the G7 to understand how the Kremlin destabilises and manipulates the information, weakening Ukraine and our Western resolve. We have a Rapid Alert System that has proven its importance, allowing to swiftly share with EU institutions – with my colleagues from the European Commission with whom we are working closely and positively – EU Member States and also partners. Sharing analysis and debunking material. I insist, please, inform about the existence of this website, where hundreds of disinformation cases can be found.
We have intensified our work to help our partners in the region to tackle the issue of interference and information manipulation – especially in the Western Balkans, which are currently being targeted systematically by these campaigns.
Most importantly, we have imposed costs on the perpetrators, including through banning Russia Today and Sputnik from broadcasting in the European Union. Because they are not independent media; they are assets, they are weapons in the Kremlin's manipulation ecosystem.
I want to stop here because there have been criticisms saying that we are attempting against the freedom of information. Let us consider what is information and what these outlets are. Let me take a moment to underline the essence of this issue. We are not trying to decide what is true and what is false. I am not the Minister of Truth; we do not have Ministers of Truth. What we have to focus on are foreign actors, who intentionally, in a coordinated manner, try to manipulate our information environment to advance their own purposes and to harm us.
Allow me to say this in Spanish.
La democracia es un sistema que funciona en base a la información. La información es el combustible de la democracia. Los ciudadanos actúan como ciudadanos en base a la información que reciben. En base a lo que saben, como interpretan la realidad, juzgan a sus gobernantes y deciden su voto. La democracia es un sistema cuyo combustible es la información. Si la información es mala, la democracia es mala. Si la información está sistemáticamente sesgada y contaminada por la mentira, los ciudadanos no pueden tener cabal conocimiento de la realidad y su juicio político está sesgado.
Por eso tenemos que defender que la información sea un bien protegido. Cuando usted va a comprar carne en un supermercado, tiene garantías sobre la calidad de ese producto, para evitar que consumirlo le produzca una enfermedad. Tiene que haber también alguna clase de garantía para que la información no sea un elemento que contamine las mentes.
La democracia funciona con la información y, por eso, Rusia ha creado Sputnik. Sputnik no es un inocente medio que tiene una determinada visión de la realidad.
Sputnik is not a media that understands things in a certain way. Sputnik was created by a Russian Presidential decree, with the aim to report on the state policy of Russia abroad. And according to Russia Today's editor-in-chief, Russia Today is capable of conducting an information war against the whole Western world. Both channels [Sputnik and Russia Today] facilitate and engage in cyber-facilitated influence operations, including those that have been attributed to the Russian Military Intelligence, the famous GRU.
To be able to respond equally in a quick and decisive manner in the future, I will propose a new mechanism that will allow us to sanction those malign disinformation actors. This will be part of a broader toolbox that we are currently working on, to further enhance our capacity to act. This toolbox will be structured across four cross-cutting dimensions, improving our situational awareness. First, to build up our resilience and those of our partners, by stepping up our support to independent media and civil society in third countries and boosting the strategic communication capacities of our Delegations. Being that a tool of foreign policy I am always talking about third countries, as it is my colleagues from the Commission who are working inside European Union territories. But there is a lot of work to do in order to support our partners around the world.
Second, to ensure disruption of such malign activities and regulatory responses to them – the Code of Practice and the Digital Services Act, on which Vice-President [for Values and Transparency, Věra] Jourová will say more, are crucial elements in this regard.
I am not going to go deeper on this Code of Practice and Digital Services because Vice-President [for Values and Transparency, Věra] Jourová knows more than I about it.
And, last but not least, a continuous diplomatic response and instruments within the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Within our foreign policy we have to introduce the concept of information battles. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I coined the sentence "battle of narratives". This battle of narratives is every day more important. Look at what is happening in Africa, what do you think? People are influenced by what they are being told. And at the end it goes up to the political scale and finally it converts in votes in the international institutions.
This brings me to the report by the INGE Committee, which I welcome so much. This report shows appreciation of the work that my service has been doing and constantly expanded on since we received this mandate by the [European] Council in 2015. I want to assure you that we take your recommendations very much into account, including your proposal for new structures to make our work even more efficient and sustainable.
I thank you a lot for your support. You have been very supportive of our strategic communication teams devoted to the Balkans, devoted to the Eastern border and how unhappily they are so much in the news.
Thank you for your support. We work together. This is a critical battle for democracy. Once again, allow me to say, democracy is a system that works on the basis of the information that a citizen has. That is why we have to protect the freedom of information and fight against disinformation.

Does he have any power or influence or is it purely a ceremonial position?
Happy New King Day... or whatever it's called.
Since 1848, the Constitution has laid down that the monarch is inviolable. This means that the monarch is politically neutral and the ministers are accountable to Parliament for government policy.
As well as carrying out official tasks as head of state, the monarch works actively on behalf of the people of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, playing a cohesive, representative and encouraging role.
The monarch binds people and population groups together and supports the activities of persons and organisations who play a cohesive role in society. As such, the monarch is impartial. This contributes to social stability, continuity and progress in the country. He/she expresses the people's feelings at times of both joy and sadness.
The monarch represents the Kingdom of the Netherlands at home and abroad. Every year, he/she undertakes state visits abroad and receives foreign heads of state and government visiting the Netherlands.
The monarch regularly attends conferences, meetings, celebrations, remembrance ceremonies, and other official events. He/she devotes attention to positive initiatives in society and supports valuable trends and activities.
"Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society."
I never noticed before. It's like she's got big fingers or something.
It's a line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Lighten up, Francis. Yeesh.
She is trying to cover sizable real estate, she needs big fingers.


The reason they see conservatives this way is that most people on the Left are certain that they mean well; therefore their opponents do not mean well. Moreover, liberals tend to assess policy positions on that basis -- are the motives good? -- rather than on the basis of what actually does good.
For example, liberals advocate bilingual education for immigrant children despite the fact that bilingual education hurts immigrant children. It slows learning the language of the adopted country and integrating into it, and thereby hurts their chances for success. Nevertheless liberal educators and politicians prefer bilingual education -- out of compassion for immigrant children (and antipathy to American assimilation). Therefore liberals believe that since compassion leads them to favor bilingual education, only a lack of compassion can explain conservative preference for English immersion.
Likewise in liberal eyes, the Republican/conservative preference for lowering taxes can only emanate from selfishness and apathy toward the poor. And conservative support for the war in Iraq cannot emanate from love of liberty and a moral desire to destroy Islamic totalitarians, but rather from love of oil, commitment to American imperialism and macho adoration of military might.
On issue after issue, Democrats perceive Republicans as not merely wrong, but bad. And when fighting the bad, almost any weapon may be used.
Truth be told, wouldn't you guess that Senator Kennedy would appreciate a "do over" too?
We all make mistakes. I appreciate when someone is willing and able to own up to them, deal with the consequences, and hopefully learn from the experience. I'm not familiar enough with the Senator's situation. I certainly was not positively impressed as the Clinton-Lewinsky episode unfolded.
As for the President calling Senator Kennedy the "conservative" senator, I think he was on the mark. It underscores my understanding that those labels are relative and, often, relatively meaningless. Is President Bush "conservative?" Was President Reagan? President Bush's position on illegal aliens doesn't seem to be enamoring the hardliners. Many are concerned that a "liberal" justice like Sandra Day O'Connor would be terrible, unacceptable... yet she was nominated by President Reagan; was he soft on the courts?
I don't think many of us are as liberal or conservative as we think. We're each a blend of several often hard-earned perspectives. I hope we can all learn to be more respectful of those perspectives.
I appreciate being able to have this discussion without the bitterness so common today ... on both side of the aisle.
Speaking of do-overs, I see that President Bush has softened his position regarding firing anyone who leaked information on the CIA agent. Now the criteria seems to include conviction of a criminal act.
I was able to delete the extra trackbacks. That sort of thing happens fairly often.
Dale: "Embarassing post? let's just erase it... it never happened... isn't there a label for that too? Revisionist?"
Dale, no offense taken on your remarks. I did goof up on the links, and it does look stupid. On a liberal site where I participate I am called a lying nazi moron almost every day, but they ususally add several F-words to it. I have to be thick skinned.
Those responses to me and my confusion over that type of response was the whole point of the post--not to bash liberals but to figure them out.
I'm really not one to read blogs much less post to one. A generally more conservative blogger friend of mine sent me this link with little more to go on.
I'm just tired of all the name calling and finger pointing that so many vocal members of our nation are so engrossed in these days. This was a case that truly seemed to highlighted that adage when we point a finger at someone else, four are pointed back at us. I didn't let better judgement rule when I made that revisionist remark.
I really hope that we can all realize soon that our individual positions on matters are liberal to some and conservative to most of the rest. Remember when President Bush called Ted Kennedy the conservative senator from Massachusetts?
My earlier remarks were intended to have a little edge to them but not to really aggrivate or be hurtful. I hope that nobody was truly upset. I apologize to Mr. McMahon for using his space to express myself at the expense of his readers.
Embarassing post? let's just erase it... it never happened... isn't there a label for that too? Revisionist?
I agree that it looks stupid and I'm partially responsible. Also, I apologize. As soon as I made the initial post, I saw an omitted word and immediately corrected that, but it made yet another link here. I don't know why. I have no idea about the others except that G.M. was having some problems on the site and engaged in maintainance and rebuilding. Honestly, we're still learning and this is one thing that I need to figure out. But, please, please don't insult us by thinking that we're liberals. If they had this problem they would be yelling for a government program to solve it. Tom, maybe you can delete the extra links and give us an education.
That response is hilarious. Evidently someone didn't learn how to operate the "Post a comment." It's not even as if the entry was made in error... HOURS passed between! Must have been a liberal at the keyboard, eh?


The Quick Red Fox - Manchester Fashion, Food and Lifestyle Blogger, UK: The sun has got his hat on, hooray hooray hoor- NO!
The sun has got his hat on, hooray hooray hoor- NO!
So those of you in England may have noticed that the weather was rather pleasant today (something I observed on my trip from North Yorkshire to Birmingham- I don't know about anywhere else). Was I pleased about this? No I bloody wasn't!
Upon arriving back in England, after my holiday, I was greeted with torrential rain and a bitter coldness which my holiday/home transition outfit didn't appreciate one little bit. So much for August being the height of summer ey?
So now we reach September, the weather should have deteriorated even more right? Wrong! And I'd just resigned myself to embracing the new A/W clothes and banishing my holiday clothes to the back of my wardrobe. I was also dying to wear my new (well, old really) car booted faux fur coat.
Alas, it wasn't meant to be, so I ended up sat on my suitcase for ten minutes trying to stuff the damn thing inside it.
So once I was stripped of my precious coat, I realised something; I've never featured this top before- it's literally my favouritest ever! I think.
It's from Urban Village, Birmingham. I got it in the sale they had before their move to the new shop. I couldn't believe that it was only £2!
The fit is great, it's like an oversized t-shirt but in fabulous soft material. I have no idea where it's from originally though as there's no label.
The sleeves are quite big and floaty, which adds a bit of interest and makes it that bit more special than a conventional t-shirt. It's got a little keyhole detail at the neck on the back and there's also some ruche detail on the shoulders.
The thing I like about it most is probably the print. It's so pretty, and almost looks like a watercolour painting.
And even minus the coat, I was still roasting in my black opaques! That's what you get for falling out with summer and not taking any suitable clothes up North!
There was no way I was going bare-legged either; not due to hot pants + cellulite issues (I'm still in holiday mode so none of that matters- who needs clear tights!), no, it was my reptilian-like pins that are shedding skin at an alarming rate I was worried about- where's that aftersun!?
hiya thanks for leaving a comment over on me blog.. think i'll check out the website about my popcorn tubs and get them to buy mine off me!!.
love love your fur coat.. it looks ace on!!.. i wore my opaques yesterday with a tea dress and nearly died of over heating!!!..


Durng the Carolingian era there was a dungeon at this site. In the 10th century, the Count of Montdidier inhabited this fortress, His wife had the church of Notre-Dame built next to it. Philippe-Auguste made the castle his royal residence and restored the fortifications. During the 11th century it became the seat of the law courts. Then in 1800, the courtroom became the office of the state prosecuter. Destroyed during the First World War, this building was rebuilt in around 1930 in a neo-gothic style, but the internal layout kept the same characteristics. Only the base and the adjoining Philippe-Auguste tower have been preserved.

BREXIT: Unlikely Says EQ Investors, But Has Identified Risks
by Jacqueline Wilson | Apr 1, 2016
EQ Investors says it has positioned portfolios to protect investors from the potential risks surrounding a leave vote at the EU Referendum on 23 June. It does not currently believe that the vote to leave the EU is a probable outcome. But, if it does happen, the company believes the market implications could be quite negative in the short to medium term at least due to the heightened uncertainty about the position of the UK in Europe and on the global political stage.
EQ view:
Outlook – We expect weakness and an increase in volatility, due mainly to weakening foreign direct investment. Some of this has already occurred, but there is risk of further weakness.
EQ Action – Over the last several months we have taken steps to diversify our currency exposure. We hope this will reduce portfolio downside risk in the case of rising Brexit concerns.
Outlook – We expect some weakness in UK equities to reflect added uncertainty around our relationship with the EU. Financial services and manufacturers with European trade links are likely to be some of the worst hit sectors.
EQ Action – We are underweight in UK equities relative to our peers and do not plan to increase this allocation at least until Brexit concerns are alleviated.
Outlook – Credit rating agencies have expressed concern about Brexit, with Moody's saying "a decision to leave the EU would be credit negative for the UK economy". This could increase the yield on UK government bonds. We expect UK corporate bonds would also be subject to higher yields in the short term.

Tampa Bay's 10 News helps change locksmith standards
In 2009, the 10 News Investigators went undercover to help bust deceptive locksmiths. After the investigation, 10 News sat down with Victor Crist, then a State Senator leading the effort to regulate the locksmith industry. But a statewide bill to crackdown on dirty locksmiths died in the legislature.
But Crist hadn't forgotten the story, or the locksmiths. Last week County Commissioner Victor Crist, with the help of his fellow commissioners, moved to act. And they've got backup- professional locksmiths also want tougher regulation of these shady competitors.
"Security and convenience are just as important as preserving the traditional look."
The thing is, when you're asked to provide a door that's slightly out of the ordinary, hardware is often a stumbling block.
Locksmith facing child pornography charges
A Chesterfield, VA, county locksmith will be appearing in federal court on July 16th to answer to charges of possession and distribution of child pornography. Harry Lee Palmquist Jr. told federal investigators earlier this year that he had been downloading child pornography for about a decade, according to an affidavit. Based on the document, Palmquist didn't come to the attention of investigators until September 2012.
'Locksmith' kiosks replace lost keys at any hour
If you have ever experienced being locked out of your apartment, you'll be glad of this new and unique locksmith service by tech startup KeyMe, according to an item in the New York Daily News.
The company has installed its self-service 'locksmith' kiosks in several 7-Eleven stores around New York City.
With the kiosk, people can store digital copies of their keys. If they lose their keys or get locked out of their apartments, people can simply go back to a KeyMe kiosk and create a spare key by accessing their digital copy.
Digital copies can be accessed via fingerprint scan so people can be assured that nobody else can access their keys. The kiosk is also equipped with high-level encryption and does not store any personal information.
45 days for armed security guards in India to get verified
Police in India have given agencies a 45-day ultimatum to get all armed security guards verified. Joint commissioner of police Maheshwar Dayal called a meeting of all the security agencies last week and directed owners to ensure verification of arms licences before hiring the guards.
In August last year, a little girl, Vaanya Chaddha, 5, was shot when a loaded double barrel gun of a security guard accidentally went off. The girl remained hospitalised for more than 10 days. Later, the police found that the guard had a fake arms licence.

EU websites track users without warning, against own rules
European institutions are tracking users of their web sites, in breach of the EU's own data protection rules, EurActiv has learned. The fact has been confirmed by Europe's data protection watchdog, in an interview with EurActiv, while Brussels is reviewing privacy legislation to tackle the abuse.
The European Data Protection Supervisor, Peter Hustinx, said that institutions were aware of the problem, that new guidelines are being drawn up to deal with the issue, and that his own office avoided using EU institutional software last year because he realised they were "inappropriate."

The net addition to cash is just the difference between sources and uses, and our $14 result here agrees with the $14 change shown on the balance sheet.
This simple statement tells us much of what happened during the year, but it doesn't tell the whole story. For example, the increase in retained earnings is net income (a source of funds) less dividends (a use of funds). It would be more enlightening to have these reported separately so we could see the breakdown. Also, we have only considered net fixed asset acquisitions. Total or gross spending would be more interesting to know.
To further trace the flow of cash through the firm during the year, we need an income statement. For Prufrock, the results for the year are shown in Table 3.2.
Notice here that the $242 addition to retained earnings we calculated from the balance sheet is just the difference between the net income of $363 and the dividends of $121.

Once again a call was placed to the Rural Housing Development division of the government to get a faxed pay-off on our house loan. Once again was told, "it'll be faxed today." I did a bit more specific digging with the agent on the telephone and must have pestered her enough because the pay-off amount did show up on the fax machine at the title office shortly thereafter. Another few hours and the proceeds were in our bank account.
Now to get that spiffy towing truck.
Bonus: The pay-off was less than we were anticipating, making our cha-ching a bunch more than we'd hoped for. Yay us!
After the boys unloaded the truck (only took them an hour and a half; they're young), mr scott returned the truck to the local rental location. This is the location that we go to quite often. We rent a car whenever we travel out of state so it saves wear 'n' tear on our own vehicles. Obviously this isn't working for us since our own vehicle seems to be in the shop a lot whether we drive it out of state or not! Anyhoooo, the idea here is that the gals that work at this location are quite familiar with mr scott. The daughter, of the mom/daughter combo that work there, looked for quite awhile for the rental info of the truck so mr scott could trade it in on a car rental. She couldn't find a rental under his name, couldn't find a rental out of the Grand Rapids location, couldn't find a rental for his preferred customer number . . . nothing.
Then, finally in searching the VIN for the truck, she did find a mention of it.
This vehicle is reported stolen.
Of course it is, why wouldn't it be? heheheh.
Good thing mr scott has a good working relationship with the the rental location or he'd have found himself in the back seat of a police car. He did have the truck rental agreement with him and all the correct legal paperwork so it was nothing more than a humorous side-note. He turned in the truck and got a car that we'll keep until we get our Trailblazer back from the shop with yet another transmission in place. Or, perhaps, until we get the new truck to pull the TOW.
Well, grab 72 hours and a handful of sore muscles- stir together, and whammy – we're homeless.

Images; of Collectors Pipes and Delightful dissipation.-the ladies' opium-smoking club, Police News, April 21, 1877. Courtesy State Library of Victoria
Silver Opium Pipe circa 1850 (?) to 1899
Recently a discovery was made in an attic of this opium pipe. The house is over a hundred years old. The pipe is said to come from the Braidwood area originally where relatives of the re-discoverer had a farm with frontage to the Mongarlowe river. In 1851 gold was discovered along and in this river and attracted Chinese peoples along with other settlers. By 1861 there were an estimated 13, 000 Chinese people newly arrived from China (some sources state migrants came mainly from Kwangtung, now Guangdong) in NSW and around 12, 000 of these were on goldfields.
The markings on the base of the pipe and on the inner lid of its opium storage vessel may predate when silver was exported from China to the world and their adoption of incorporating or copying English style silvermarks for this trade around 1775 or, as is more likely, it was made solely for a Chinese market and brought to Australia by a hopeful Chinese miner.
Until 1906 opium was legal in Australia and could be purchased from a grocery store. After it was banned the trade was driven underground and persists in other opiate forms even today. Laudanum was a popular form of using this drug during the Victorian era and was prescribed for everything from headaches to tuberculosis with patients quickly becoming addicted.
The markings or stencils on this pipe are poppy motifs from which opium is derived. The weight of the pipe itself is close to a kilogram and as silver currently sell for around $28.00 an ounce it could be worth as much in weight as it may sell for to a collector. The purity of Chinese silver forms part of an assessment of worth.
The second opium pipe here was found only a few years ago and is made of brass. The motifs on its sides place are Chinese and the symbols on the other side, a sage with a dragon-head shaped staff, deer, peach tree and crane are all symbols of longevity, happiness and good health as opium was considered to produce longevity in times where diseases such as cholera were rampant, often causing death, were treated with opiates. Opium causes anyone too look old beyond their years and emaciated through continuous use. This pipe would be worth between $100 and $150.00 if resold.
The motifs on this one are the ancient Chinese Taoist god of long life and luck. Called Shou-lao, the popular name of Shou-xing, the stellar deity of longevity or 'Old Man from the South Pole' he also usually depicted with a deer, dragon headed staff and crane. Pne trees and peach trees in blossom are also familiar parts of his motifs . The Deer are the mount of Shou-lao, and the only animals capable to find the plant of mortality, "ling-chih" said to grow in the base or between the roots of certain pine trees. In the late Song Dynasty (960-1127 CE) stories about an "Old Man from the South Pole" arose in which this man gained certain powers from a so called "Old Man Star" entity among them the power of long life. The pair of cranes symbolize happiness, fidelity and longevity. The peach tree (or pine tree), in Chinese medicine, many curative qualities and is therefore associated with longevity. The dragon shaped staff is a symbol of spiritual power.

MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE. ,
43. On the influence of Opium-eating on Health and Longevity.—A recent trial at Edinburgh, arising from the refusal of a life insurance company to pay a certain-sum,- which they had insured on the life of Lord Mar, on the ground principally, that the insured Was in the regular practice of using laudanum to excess at the time he effected the insurance, has elicited from Dr. CBKISIISOX some interesting remarks in our cotemporary, the Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal, for Jan. last, on the- question, whether the habit of opium-eating is detrimental to health and longevity•? In the trial referred to, several physicians were examined, who all considered the Habit very injurious;, but few special facts were known to the witnesses, and these few rather -countenanced the supposition, that a fair proportion of opium-eaters reach an advanced age.
"It does not necessarily follow," says Dr, Christison, "that the habitual use of narcotics must tend to shorten life. The practice of snuffing, smoking, or chewing tobacco, is not believed to have any such effect.' It is true, that the much more injurious and more permanent effects which every repetition of a dose of opium produces on*,the digestive, organs and on the nervous system, supply a stronger presumption of ultimate injury to life in the case of that drug, than exists in the instance of tobacco. But even these circumstances must not be too easily assumed as sufficient grounds for the belief that the practice of using opium in excess tends to shorten life. For it is well-known, that some disturbed states of the nervous system, such as hysteria, may exist for a long time, and that the functions of digestion may often be long and seriously disturbed by ordinary stomach complaints, without life being materially shortened. It is necessary then to appeal to special facts.
"I have not-been able to find any facts of the least value on the subject m medical records. The following eases, however, have been communicated to me by several of my friends, in whose information I can place reliance.—1. A young lady of five-and-twenty has taken it largely for fifteen years. It was first administered secretly by her nurse to keep her quiet and save trouble; and the unhappy lady was subsequently compelled to keep op the practice for her comfort. She enjoys good health.—-. A female, a patient of mine in the Infirmary, a martyr to rheumatism, took it for ten years previous to her fortieth year, in the quantity of a drachm daily of solid opium. She then gave it up. Six months afterwards she was attacked with jaundice; subsequently she was several times severely ill of rheumatism; and she died in her forty-third year of consumption. This women, however, led a licentious life from an early period. —3. _A well-known literary gentleman, who has taken laudanum with some intermissions, for twenty years, and occasionally to the extent of nine or ten ounces daily, has now attained his forty-fifth year. He is spare in form, looks older than he is, but is capable of undergoing a good deal of bodily fatigue, and enjoys tolerably good health so long as he takes sufficient exercise. His allowance, when I had last an opportunity of conversing with him, was about nine drachms of laudanum daily.—4. A lady in this city, after drinking laudanum to excess for upwards of twenty years, died about the age of fifty. No information could be supplied of the disease of which she died.—5. A lady of the same age takes about .three ounces daily, and has used it for many years. She appears to enjoy good health-.—6. A lady, about sixty years of age, has taken it above twenty years, and is in good health.—7. A charwoman, who had been in the daily practice of drinking two ounces of laudanum-for many years, died at the age of sixty. The gentleman who has stated this fact, does not remember what disease she died of, although he dissected the dead body.—8. An eminent literary gentleman, I am informed, has been in the habit of taking laudanum since he was fifteen; and his daily allowance has sometimes been a quart bottle, (twenty-six ounces,) consisting of three parts' of laudanum and one of alcohol. Enormous as this dose may appear, Tarn assured the fact is Well-known to his acquaintances. He is about sixty years of age, and enjoys good health.—9. A lady of seventy,(now alive) has taken about half an ounce of laudanum daily, for nearly forty years. She enjoys tolerable health, and every year travels great distances to visit her friends*—10. Another woman of eighty died a few years ago at Leith, after taking about half an ounce of laudanum daily for nearly forty years; and she enjoyed tolerable health all the time.

Watch The Rookies (2019) HD
Extreme sport lover Zhou Feng got involved in an international illegal trade by accident. So he had to follow an international special agent Bruce to Budapest. Together with a crappy police officer Miao Yan, a non-professional scientist Ding Shan and an unemployed doctor LV, they became an amateur unit. In company with the senior agent Bruce, these four rookies started a fight with the terrorists that was both thrilling and hilarious.
The Rookies is one of the best movies, I've ever watched. The term 'best' is as you know a relative term. What you or I consider as 'the best' may not even be in someone else's list. So the general rule is to proclaim the one which majority of the folks like as the best. Nevertheless, according to me the following can be regarded as some of the finest movies ever made. The Rookies stands out among all the rest of those other amazing films I've seen in my life. It is a movie that truly knows what it is and wastes not even a second in conveying what that is. I regret information that I had to leave the cinema... In conclusion The Rookies is just absolutely amazing, that's why it is considered one of the 10 greatest movies ever made. So now this movie will be available online for free for all.... Show more

There is a proverb that says "plenty is no plague". However, having plenty of data is not necessarily a good thing when you don't know how to use and exploit it… not to mention simply extracting and making it available.
30% higher returns
"The explosion in the amount of data and the limits of the capabilities of traditional tools such as spreadsheets to manage it are impediments of progress", explained Yannick Bruck, CTO of the IT consulting and services firm Fujitsu Luxembourg, during L-DIH Talk #9. "Added to this is the problem of lack of compliance and of available skills. This also makes it difficult to monetise this access to knowledge, as it is sometimes difficult to prove the value of the investments that need to be made. At the end, you realise that data is a strategic asset, but difficult to tap into."
This probably explains why 99% of companies say they are trying to become insights-driven, but 30% actually report succeeding.
"Data management in silos is another problem," says Mr Bruck. "This creates additional costs through redundant or excessive processing and leads to fragmentation of data governance and compliance management."
The solution is therefore based on a single and unified platform, allowing the entire processing chain to be tracked, from the capture of the data to the implementation of process based on these data, through the construction of predictive or descriptive models.
"A cohesive data strategy can generate up to 30% higher returns," he said. "But today, 81% of companies do not understand what data is required to develop artificial intelligence processes, for example, and 80% of this data is either inaccessible, untrusted or unanalysed."
For his part, Philipp Coenen, Senior Project Manager at Stremler AG, a consultancy firm specialising in optimising corporate value chains, is aware that "processing data or managing it correctly is a huge competitive advantage today".
However, he also knows how difficult the task is. "Usually, this data is more or less structured according to the needs and what it is intended for. Often it is slow and tedious to process, and blocks a lot of resources for other operational tasks."
The idea is, above all, to ensure the availability of the most relevant data, which will allow for linking together the different elements of the value chain. At this stage, therefore, the important thing is not completeness, but quality. "Production processes are driven by customer needs," he said. "It is therefore essential to have data around three main pillars: sales and distribution, production planning and material management."
To carry out this approach, Mr Coenen recommends the implementation of a digital twin: a virtual identical reproduction of the entire process – from the initial order to final delivery – making it possible to envisage real-time simulations and to measure the impact of changes in one or more initial data (concerning the products, the quantities to be produced, delivery dates, etc.).
"Digital twins puts the management in the proactive control seat."
AI for dummies
At this stage, the implementation of processes using artificial intelligence (AI), for which data is the primary feeding element, also come to mind. In this field, certain prejudices are still very much present. "Artificial intelligence is often perceived as complex, unpredictable and difficult to implement. This is not necessarily the case," explained Benjamin Hourte, Technology Director at EarthLab, a company developing solutions combining big data technologies and remote sensing. "AI requires the application of defined procedures and the use of tools that guarantee data quality. It can be easily deployed using recent innovations in terms of public, private and hybrid cloud solutions".
Two major axes underpin the development of AI: the optimisation of existing procedures, with a more flexible approach, and the opportunity to explore new horizons and new uses for the data collected and processed. "The success of AI will come in the ability to make it simple to experiment and implement such approaches," says Mr Hourte.
The fields of application are very broad: quality control, forecasting breakdowns, predictive maintenance of equipment, forecasting production demands, detecting fraud, etc. However, there are some pitfalls to be avoided. "One of the main reasons for the failure of such projects is the quality of the data processed and the difference between the initial wishes and the final reality. It is also important to be careful, first and foremost, that the purpose of AI is well defined: asking the right questions at the outset will increase the chances of success."
Do not neglect the human aspect
As in every episode, the 9th L-DIH Talk ended with a testimonial from an industrial company that has implemented automated processes. Sensor manufacturer IEE, with its world headquarters in Bissen, in the north of the country, presented its entire strategy for digitalising its production processes.
"Before this automation, data extraction was tedious and time-consuming and we had a reporting rhythm that was generally monthly, which is insufficient," explained Fabian Leponce, Process Development & Optmization Manager at the firm. "Now, access to data is daily and the creation of reports is almost instantaneous and everything is sent directly by email to the teams concerned."
This concerns not only internal production processes, but also customer relations, particularly for complaint management. "Each request is documented in our ERP system and the processing of files is much faster than before. This also allows customers to see how seriously their requests are being handled."
The process of automation and digitisation is very simple, even obvious on paper, but does not start from scratch, the most crucial part being the identification of the right indicators that will be used and monitored over time, and then their extraction. "And the human aspect should not be neglected. It is important to demystify the process and show the importance and advantage of choosing and using the right data. This clearly involves the collaboration of everyone."
The L-DIH Talk #9 was the final webinar of this first season of events. To close it out, a face-to-face event in September will be held to take stock of these four months of presentations and testimonials.
It will also be the occasion for the launch of Season 2, on the theme "Digitalisation and Sustainability in Industry 4.0". "We are going to look at the best ways to combine digital transformation and sustainable development in manufacturing companies, production sites, etc.," pointed out Marina Guérin-Jabbour, the manager of the Luxembourg Digital Innovation Hub, who initiated these conference cycles.

An intimate micro wedding at Sheffield Town Hall
by dannimaibaum | Jun 24, 2020 | JOURNAL
Micro Wedding Ceremony at Sheffield Town Hall
I have to admit, when Rebecca and Luke contacted me and told me about their micro ceremony in Sheffield, it would have been the first time I shot a wedding with less than 10 guests! They wanted a small celebration with their closest family to mark their marriage and the end of their long distance relationship. ( In a good way!) They opted for a small, intimate ceremony, with a view to have a larger celebration after a year with extended family and friends ( I CANT WAIT FOR THIS!) Now more commonly known as a 'sequel wedding.'
Their micro wedding at the Town Hall in Sheffield was so intimate, emotional and absolutely beautiful, I had plenty of moments to capture for them, even though they had six guests for the whole day. Having a smaller guestlist most certainly didn't subtract anything from the day! After the ceremony, they moved onto a dinner and drinks at Whitley Hall Hotel in a stunning private dining room.
Please contact me if you would like to hear about my 'Tiny Dancer' and 'Love Me Tender' packages. They are perfect for shorter coverage and more intimate celebrations.
Here is a selection of photos from the day, and some of Rebecca's own words about how she met Luke, and her take on a small wedding ceremony.
How did you both meet?
Luke and I met when Luke was visiting Canada back in 2014. I was a student at University and he took a tour of the campus for something to do. He got lost near the campus store and asked me for directions. His British accent had me hooked immediately and we spent every moment together until he left a few weeks later. After that, we went back and forth from England to Canada for two years for a total of 14 trips every couple of months before I moved over.
Tell us about the proposal
Luke proposed to me in the Lake District in the middle of Lake Windemere in Cumbria. He told me he had planned to do it earlier on when we went for a walk, but it poured rain so he walked around with the ring in his pocket hoping to find another moment. That moment came when we rented a motor boat and went out into the lake. The sky absolutely split open with the most beautiful sun and he suggested I drive the boat and not turn around. When I did turn around, he was on one knee and I said "yes!"
How would you describe your wedding day in one sentence?
A beautiful mix of love and utter relief that never again will we be a part from one another.
Who did your Hair and Makeup?
Jenn Edwards and Co did the most beautiful job on my hair and makeup. I had no idea what I wanted and left it up to them, and I am so glad I did!
And the dress?
My dress was from ASOS, I ordered it online and it was the only one I tried on. I knew that it was the one.
And the flowers?
Swallows and Damsons left me speechless with their beautiful flowers. I never had an
appreciation for them until I saw my wedding bouquet.
What about the suit?!
Luke bought his suit from House of Fraser; he did hours of research to find the perfect suit and tie. We went to so many stores and bought and returned so many ties. In the end, it was absolutely perfect and some how he managed to match his tie and pocket square perfectly to the colour of my hair.
Why did you opt for a 'Sequel' wedding?
Our small intimate wedding was everything I ever wished it was going to be. I would not have changed anything about it. I am so glad I get the ability to do both the smaller and the sequel wedding because the smaller wedding was about us and our love. It was a chance to celebrate us in the best way possible. The sequel is the celebration of the intimate wedding. It's a chance to celebrate with our family and friends everything that
we got to privately celebrate first.
Where was that incredible cake from?
The cake was from Depot Bakery. I have been vegan for four years and it was hard to find a baker that was willing to do a full vegan cake, so they did a spectacular job and there was so many leftovers!
What was the best part of having a smaller wedding?
The best part of having the more intimate wedding was that it was more private. When we first got engaged, a lot of people told me to carve out some time for you and your spouse so that you didn't get lost in the day and got to savour it. I did not have to do that for our intimate wedding, I got to savour every moment there and then because it was always just me and Luke. There were no distractions of lots of people, I never had to be reminded that I was there for him and he was there for me.
What was your favourite part of the day?
My favourite part of the day was our ceremony. It was at Sheffield Town Hall, and they were so accommodating and made it feel like a real church wedding. I don't think I realised how emotional I was going to be. It never occurred to me that during our vows, I would not just be professing my love for Luke but also finally saying goodbye to our long-distance past of missing each other terribly day in and day out. It was the start of our permanent life together that we had dreamed about for so long.
Can you tell me/show me what one of your favourite images from the day was and
why you like it?
I absolutely love this photo because I can never get a photo of Luke's genuine smile. His look radiates joy and that's exactly what I want to remember about the day. You can also see my shoes, which I absolutely loved!
Any advice to any couples opting for a smaller wedding?
Do everything that you want to do! With it being smaller, you don't have to say no to the fancier things that might be too expensive for a larger wedding. But also realise that at the end of the day when you strip a wedding to its core, it's about you and your partner.

Q: How to generate a nonce in node.js? I need to generate a nonce (number generated only once) to remove the CSP rule 'unsafe-inline' and all the trusted URLs for scripts, improving the CSP score. Thus I need to have in the HTML
<script nonce="{{{nonce}}}" src="http://example.com/file.js">

I know the nonce must be unique with a method of calculation almost impossible to predict, it should have at least 128 bits (hence 16 bytes), and be encoded in base64. Is therefore this correct for node.js?
const crypto = require('crypto');
let nonce = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('base64');

A: I suggest using uuid for this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/uuid
Each uuid is exactly 16 bytes (128 bits) as desired, and you have a higher probability of your computer being hit by a meteor than generating a uuid collision.

A: Just to confirm that indeed this does work in NodeJS for CSP nonces
const crypto = require('crypto');
let nonce = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('base64');

A: You can use the builtin crypto.randomUUID() to generate UUIDv4 (version 4).
That's a 36 characters long string (288-bit) that encode a 128 bits UUID.
Of those 128 bits, only 122 bits are random, 4 bits are used to encode the UUID version (always version 4 for randomUUID()), and 2 other bits are fixed, so you lose 6 bits of randomness in total.
const crypto = require('crypto')
crypto.randomUUID()
'5a388e8e-09eb-4778-a242-ea663f3c7e5e'

The first 4 in -4478- indicates that it's a UUID version 4, that's 4 bits that are not random.
The first two bits of -a242- are fixed to 10 by the RFC spec, so those are not random either.
In total you have 122-bits of randomness in if you use UUIDv4 as a nonce.
You could generate a 128-bits totally random nonce with crypto.randomBytes(16) and encode it in either base64url (22 characters), base64 (24 characters), or hex (32 characters), all of those are shorter that UUIDv4 which is 36 characters.
UUIDv4 is longer (less compact) and has less random bits, but it's easier to read when you are troubleshooting and are easily recognizable as a random value.
crypto.randomUUID() # 36 characters
'5a388e8e-09eb-4778-a242-ea663f3c7e5e'

var nonce128bitvalue = crypto.randomBytes(16) # 16 * 8 = 128 bits

nonce128bitvalue.toString('base64url') # 22 characters long
'q-UBP7J_AqOn1BWTBq1Tfw'

nonce128bitvalue.toString('base64') # 24 characters long
'q+UBP7J/AqOn1BWTBq1Tfw=='

nonce128bitvalue.toString('hex') # 36 characters long
'abe5013fb27f02a3a7d4159306ad537f'

As stated in the crypto.randomUUID() documentation:

Generates a random RFC 4122 version 4 UUID. The UUID is generated using a cryptographic pseudorandom number generator.

A: It is better:
  <script nonce="{{nonce}}" .. if you use HBS
    not <script nonce="{{{nonce}}}"
    in HBS convention: {{{body}}} vs {{title}} ,{{nonce}} or {{any_rendered_var}}

And in app.js of development environment:
    const crypto=require('crypto');
    var nonce=crypto.randomBytes(16).toString("hex");
    app.get('/', function(req, res) {res.render('index',{title:'Welcome',nonce:nonce});});

That does not protect you against cross scripting, because you just rendered to nonce a random value and your app does not know about any cross scripting or why did you render the random value of nonce or nnc or any other name of the variable.
But you should use helmet npm package in production!
so in server.js:
    const crypto=require('crypto');
    var nonce=crypto.randomBytes(16).toString("hex");
    app.get('/', function(req, res) {res.render('index',{title:'Welcome',nonce:nonce});});
    //add
    const helmet = require('helmet');

The helmet would block the nonce and in a browser you will see: <script nonce="" .. because CSP helmet requires:
<script nonce="random_value_client===csp_helmet_random_value_server" ..
to really prevent the cross scripting

Though we did see the foldable phone at Samsung's annual Developer Conference in November, what we saw then was only a prototype device. Recently though, images of the schematic layout of the handset appeared in the wild thanks to iGyaan.
We are just nine days away from Samsung's Unpacked event, so we will hopefully know everything there is to know about this foldable phone at the event. Going by the leaked information, the forthcoming device will be retaining design elements of Galaxy M20.
If the rain starts coming down, drivers should look out for "a light glaze of ice" on untreated roadways. This snow is associated with a Colorado low that will cross Ontario Tuesday and Wednesday .
The smartphone in total will have four cameras with three on the back and a 16 MP selfie camera on the front. It also reveals the smartphone will flaunt USB Type-C port and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. Display wise, it comes with a 6.4 inch FHD+ display with an Infinity-V notch.
The smaller display will sit on the outer cover of the phone and have an aspect ratio of 21:9 and a resolution of 1960 x 480 pixels. The Galaxy M30 will be powered by the same Exynos 7904 processor, which is present in the Galaxy M20. It comes with up to 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB of storage which is expandable via microSD card. It features a triple rear camera setup, which consists of a 24-megapixel main sensor, a 10-megapixel telephoto sensor and a 5-megapixel depth sensor, while a 24-megapixel sensor handles selfies. Like the M20, the Galaxy M20 also supports face unlock and adds in a fingerprint sensor for additional security. The battery capacity remains identical to that of the M20 - 5,000 mAh.
